She was on'v irpeating that which Philip bad used many a time when praising the beauty and grace of' some new acquaintance ; but they did not seem verv satisfactory now, tor he mut tered ' humph ! in u discontented way, and was silent. Deitha saw the success of her scheme and laughing inisehciviouslv as she lay down to slumber, dreamed, perchance of the sleigh ride she was to enjoy with her friend on ihe morrow. Philip had engaged to ride too with Mrs. and Miss Mortimer: and so it chanced that tin; twai parties met on the crowded tho- roughliire, and he had ju.-t time to catch a laughing glance and the wave of a little gloved hand from his wife as the sleighs dashed past each other.

I have noticed that you rarely meet or part with her wiliioul some hannless liberties. it was true that m the lirst day ot his fascination for the bold beauty, he had often praised her gav manners to bi-j wife, but it was stange bnv (i.lli-r-enily these things looked from a d.fii.T ent point id view. ' Ii ul Miss Mortimer is unmarried ; mid besides, it was all m a joke, our meeting and parting in that way,' he answeicil. " Ycrv well, Percy is unmarried, and we will call our parting a joke, if you please, was the reply. ! ' As you wid, but 1 'don't admire such jokes I assure you.' ' What ! jealous, l'hilip ? and 1 have been in Percy's company only throe limes. Let's sec once at the opera, once sleigh-riding, and this evening.' ' No, 1 am not jealous, but 1 don't sec what has conn; over yon. P.m't yon know that you will ruin your repu tation if' vou go on in this wav '! With men it is ditierent ; thev are not expec ted to be so exclusive in their attach ments. SicitTy has claims upon gen tlemen, w hich i hey must luilill.' 'Tine doubtless; and these same 'claims of socitty' extend to the ladies. I suppose, and we ought of course to emulate the generous, s If sacrificing examples ol the sterner sex.' Pliihp could only, think, that howvv-j er willing he might be to sacrifice him-j s. If upon the alter of society, he did j n.it wish his wile to d:oic. herself to: its claims ; but he did not say so, w ith : those mirthful eyes watching him soj closely, and therefore he remained si-j lent.

He was warmly wt leomed bv the family at the ' Homestead,' and Jkrdia was iu isible. ' She has just come in,' said her mo ther in answer to his inquiries."
